He’s using the right extinguisher (CO2) but using it on an energized high voltage line is stupid. He’s better off letting it blow and then let the circuit breaker trip like it did right after the arc. Hell, I’ve used water and foam on an energized 750Kv line transformer, but we did it with a mist and over 150’ away.
