    HI

    Is it safe to replace a 500w pcb control board with a 1500w, this is on a vibroplate i bought and i cannot get my hands on the 500w that suits but have the 1500 which i have tried and it works but want to make sure its safe and wont cause any damage to the motor.

    Thanks Y

    No way to tell easily... I don't know anything about Vibroplates! - Exercise Machine ?
    The Watts rating may be the power its supplying to the machine, maybe thats 3 times more that it can handle?
    Otherwise it may be just a power supply, and the machine controls the power used..?

    Thanks for the reply, turns out it doesn't work , i connected the 1500w board to the machine, it will supply the power to the motor but i cant control the speed,it just runs at a high speed all the time.
