French translation: l'armature

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:armature
French translation:l'armature
Entered by: wolfheart

English to French translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Technical, electricity
English term or phrase: armature
When mounting the armature to the ceiling make sure you do not pierce other electrical wires or cables.
If the armature is mounted onto a ceiling box or wall box, it is obliged to cover the box.
Make sure the electrical wire never gets clamped or twisted between the armature and the mounting surface (ie. wall or ceiling)

Que veut dire armature dans ce cas? Je n'ai malheureusement aucun autre contexte

Merci beaucoup de votre aide
