Sheet metal drip pans over electric panels? For Sprinkler Protection?

Wayne I don't see anything where you are allowed to put foreign equipment in the dedicated space. If you are above the dedicated space piping can still leak or drip onto the electrical equipment so protection is required.

From post 20:

what it is saying, between both of these two sections is if you put a foreign system in the dedicated space then you have to provide protection from leaks, if you don't then these foreign systems can not be in the dedicated space.
So no the NEC doesn't require drip protection unless you have foreign systems in the dedicated space

I ment to say above, your right,
