Re: Transformer above suspended ceiling
Does any transformer REQUIRE working space in front of it? Not as per 110.26. I firmly believe, however, that you should try to provide as much clearance as humanly possible.

Yes, you are required to maintain at least 3 feet of clearence in front of your transformer. 110.26(A)(1) Depth of working space.
This does not mention panelboards, switchboards, etc... like 110.26(F), it does mention "about all electrical equipment".

Pierre: I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but doesn't 110.26 apply to equipment "likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while enrgized"? Thats why I say if you can get the clearance get it, but if you can't get it, get what you can.
