101.1    Height Adjacent to Crossing

The vertical difference of the conductor level between the crossing and adjacent poles, towers or structures, shall, at all times, be less than that which would produce an uplift strain on the pin, insulator or tie, on the poles, towers or structures, adjacent to the crossing spans, unless due precaution is taken to prevent the conductor from becoming detached from the crossarm.
