Ron,
Read it closer. The NEC allows sprinkler "protection" where the pipe
conforms to the dedicated space requirement. In other words, sprinkler
protection is allowed as long as the pipe itself is not installed above the
electrical panels.

There is an exception for sprinkler pipe.
Exception: Suspended ceilings with removable panels shall be permitted
within the 1.8-m (6-ft) zone.
(b) Foreign Systems. The area above the dedicated space required by
110.26(F)(1)(a) shall be permitted to contain foreign systems, provided
protection is installed to avoid damage to the electrical equipment from
condensation, leaks, or breaks in such foreign systems.
(c) Sprinkler Protection. Sprinkler protection shall be permitted
for the dedicated space where the piping complies with this section.
(d) Suspended Ceilings. A dropped, suspended, or similar ceiling
that does not add strength to the building structure shall not be
considered a structural ceiling.

about not running a sprinkler line through an electrical room? While I'm

time
crunch otherwise I wouldn't bother you........
