Cambio eléctrico de repuesto
You could also use adicional, de más or auxiliar in some cases.
I hope this helps.

I need one word as I have limited space would "auxiliar" be appropriate? - xavier969, SEP 23, 2009
Repuesto would be the best word. - Nathaniel, SEP 23, 2009

Is this "spare" as in "unused", like if I had a circuit breaker in a panel to which nothing was connected or "spare" as in redundant or extra? If the motor control center doesn't automatically start the motor, we have a spare, manual, push-button, starter switch for engaging it.
repuesto o sobrante if you only have room for one word.
auxiliar if it's redundant.

In common USA electrical useage, a breaker marked "Spare" is one with nothing connected to it. - Goyo, SEP 23, 2009
