3 a soft iron bar placed across the poles of a magnet to keep it from losing magnetic power
4 a) the laminated iron core with wire wound around it in which electromotive force is produced by magnetic induction in a generator or motor: usually a revolving part, but in an alternating-current machine often stationary b) the moving or vibrating part in an electric relay or bell

(protective) enclosure
Depending on the size of the generator, it might be an enclosure, cubicle, housing, etc.
The first source text sentence requires the protection devices fitted to the enclosure to be working properly (interlocks, etc.). The second sentence requires adequate lighting inside the enclosure, for maintenance purposes.

Further clarification:
Avaliação do estado de funcionamento das armaduras.
-->
Verification that the housing (or whatever) is fit for (operational) service. (e.g. that it's properly closed, not damaged, watertight (if it's supposed to be so), the interlocks are working properly, etc.
Armadura com nível de iluminação adequado.
-->
Housing (or whatever) with adequate lighting.
Note that 'armature' is never used in the field of electrical engineering in any sense other than that referred to in sense 4 of rhandler's reference. In electrical engineering, where sense 1 of rhandler's reference is intended, 'armoured' is sometimes used - as in 'armoured cables', for example - but that would not be appropriate in the present context.

: And what about the "assessment of the operation condition of the enclosure"? "Enclosures" don't operate!
