German term or phrase: Abbrandreserve
This is a term used in a German documentation about starters used in cars. I have absolutely no idea about the English equivalent, but the word 'Abbrand' has to do something with 'burning-in' as far as I know.

(contact) erosion allowance


Explanation:
Von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Funktion des Relais ist die richtige Justage der Kontakte, d.h. die Einstellung des •Uberhubs (Abbrandreserve) und der daraus resultierenden Kontaktkr•afte. Nur wenn der Uberhub richtig eingestellt ist, kann dauerhaft ein zuverl•assiges Schalten des Relais sichergestellt werden.
Nun kann der Uberhub, der auch als Abbrandreserve der Kontakte 11, 12 und 13 bezeichnet wird, eingestellt werden, d.h. der Antrieb 3 wird noch um das•Uberhub-Mass verschoben.
