German term or phrase: Funkenabrisse
From regulations for underground trains:

Vor Stromschienenlücken, die nicht durch die miteinander verbundenen Stromabnehmer einer Zugeinheit überbrückt werden, ist der Fahrschalter auszuschalten, da sonst starke Funkenabrisse am Stromabnehmer entstehen, die Kurzschlüsse verursachen können.
