what could be the reasons for drive tripping with armature overvoltage whil running .

Over voltage is generally due to an "overhauling" load. i.e. the load is driving the motor rather than the motor driving the load.
This must be a single quadrant drive?? A four quadrant drive would dump the excess back into the supply.

Thanks for your inputs
Yes this is a single quadrant dc drive used as sepol drive in our cement mill application
how this can be avoided
the drive is of abb make dcs 501

Using a four quadrant drive will overcome this.
Some drives allow you to add "braking" resistors that will absorb the extra energy.

You may check the voltage feedback circuit, it may not sending the proportional feedback to the drive.Feedback circuit maybe derived from encoder, tacho generator or Armature voltage divider circuit, you may try to check also the voltage feedback "IR compensation circuit" (if fitted).
Most of our experience with over voltage fault is due to lost of voltage/speed feedback, voltage unstability maybe due to mechanical reason as well, i.e loose shaft coupling keys to encoder or tachogenerator.
