Humming right along... :whistling2:

That looks more like MV to me rather than LV.

I watched an arc across a switch on a 25kv line the other day. Went for almost an hour before the line crew showed up.

One reason why Ive always said arc fault logic belongs in distribution reclosers rather than 600v and under breakers.

not very good fault cordination i'd say!:whistling2:
