Hi Tony,
I saw that Palstar Dummy Load, but it's a little too expensive for me
right now. I like your water heater element idea. I wonder if they're
classified by impedance? There's one of those "Do It Yourself" stores
not far from here that would likely have one. Thanks for the tips.

Rick,
Plastar sells a very NICE 5kw Dummy Load using Large Capacitors!
Well built and should do the trick even has a fan inside to keep
things cooled down!
Or you could buy you a five gallon pail of Mineral oil, take a
heating element from a hot water heater, check the impedance, they are
NOT all the same. install this down into the Oil, with the proper
connector attached and 'Voila' you have a gigantic DUMMY Load.
