provisión/reserva


Explanation:
Yo utilizaría una de estas dos palabras. La frase completa podría ser algo así:

La potencia nominal descrita incluye provisiones para pérdidas mecánicas y es la potencia máxima para ese modelo.

Como dice David, mechanical efficiencies no equivale a problemas o deficiencias técnicas, sino a las perdidas de eficiencia mecánicas que todo motor sufre, básicamente, por rozamientos entre sus partes móviles. Esto quiere decir que una parte de la potencia nominal se pierde por estos efectos y no esta disponible como potencia util de salida.
