our i.d.fan turbine drive usually tripped off in normal operation. guys can you give your ideas regarding these?

RE: induce draft fan

Tripped off from what - excessive vibration, low bearing oil, instrumentation trip under normal boiler operation?

RE: induce draft fan

You didn't give us much information but you posted this in the boiler forum, so I will make an educated guess (school of hard knocks.)

You have too much air leakage somewhere upstream of the fan.  Find the leaks, more probably lots of little ones rather than one large one, and fix them and watch your fan amps come down and the tripping stop.

If you didn't have this problem before and it gradually started, and you have no other abnormal conditions like the fan dragging on something, it is air leaks.
