Most cases it's only one or two lines in a small room. Usually it's just easier 
to run the length of the pipe till it exits room.  If there is a drip then the 
water is displaced completely out of the area.

Mark,
When installing this, does it need to run the entire length of the pipe or just 
where the pipe passes over the electrical equipment?

Thank you,

Are we maybe describing drip pans under pipe in electrical room?
Military jobs like this in their specs

It's usually sheet metal bent into a u shape a inch or so wider than pipe. Hung 
separately but touching bottom of pipe.
No obstruction
Unless I am misunderstanding

I have to agree with Matt here.  If it is with-in 18” below the sprinklers it 
is considered an obstruction, if it is just under the piping, it does not allow 
for the water pattern to properly form to cover the room as the sprinklers are 
designed.

I still sleeve pipe because I disagree with the shield allowance. To me it is 
an obstruction
For your case, I would defer that to electrical folks as we do not know their 
requirements per se.

Has anyone installed a hood/ shield for electrical equipment?  Can this be 
something as simple as a sheet metal pan that covers the width and depth?
Suggestions, pictures, or name calling would be appreciated.
