RE: Transformer Fire Protection - Deluge System
Now if a utility wants to install a deluge system, and the jurisdiction has adopted a model fire code like the International Fire Code, then the utility is required to submit the shop drawings and hydraulic calculations to the fire code official for review and approval. Installation of a fire protection system, even if it is not required, necessitates a construction permit in IFC Section 105.8.

A deluge system is not usually required for a system servicing a small manufacturing facility, but is typically required for a power plant (see NFPA-850)
NFPA-850 covers many other requirements for power plant fire protection.
My recollection only.....
