Armature

[sabrina]

Hi!
I have this passage taken from a Motor Electrical text:

"Another common fault, that is often not considered, is cooling of the DC machine. This may occur because cooling passages are blocked, the ARMATURE is turned too slow with no additional cooling, or from dirty filters (the most common cooling-related fault).

Any idea what Armature is? Thanks!
