German term or phrase: Bestromen
Lüftweg auf 0 mm bringen (vorzugsweise durch Bestromen des Magnetteils.

Hier geht es um eine Mikroschalter Einstellanweisung für Lüftkontrolle (bei Bremse).
Im Text wird vom bestromten, vom unbestromten als auch vom stromlosen Zustand der Bremse gesprochen. Mir ist nicht ganz klar, was Bestromen so richtig bedeutet.

Explanation:
Der Lüftweg schon wieder. Ich denke, hier wird die Bremse mit Strom gespeist - powered kann man - denke ich - schon sagen.

I may be wrong about this, but powering sounds more like providing the power supply to operate something while applying power is more of a temporary action. Being a NNS, I wouldn\'t dare to disagree to your suggestion though. Plus, I don\'t like the idea of powering the brake - I think it\'s important to mention the solenoid, relay or whatwever this part will turn out to be.
