Ah yes - the blowing of the fault to clear by repeated thumping... Not nice, but recognised in certain circles.
There are machines that more or less do that for you, and you can use acoustic searching - think some microphones listening for the bang at the fault end.. Knock yourself (or anyone near the faulty end) out .. . Example here "Accurate pinpoint fault location is achieved using the “Thunder & Lightning” method whereby the 500 Joule surge generator (thumper) and an acoustic/electromagnetic receiver is used. ." Yep, look for the flash, listen for the bang!
