1. A method of determining intermittent electrical faults comprising:
- transmitting signals from a plurality of transmitters that are positioned in an electrical network;
receiving the signals transmitted by each of the plurality of transmitters at a single receiver positioned within the electrical network;
at the single receiver, analyzing the received signals and determining from the analyzing of the received signals whether a fault has occurred in the electrical network;
wherein transmitting the signals comprises inserting a random pause duration between successively transmitted signals.

Abstract
Signals are transmitted from at least one transmitter that is positioned in an electrical network. The signals that have been transmitted are received by the at least one single receiver at a single receiver positioned within the electrical network. At the single receiver, the received signals are analyzed and a determination from the analyzing the received signals is made as to whether a fault has occurred in the electrical network.
