What do you load it down with to stress test it and/or ensure it meets rated hp? What can absorb 100K+ hp?

A generator just like HP checks on train engines.

Big cargo ships use diesel engines of that size.

“A generator just like HP checks on train engines.”

Is that something like a load bank/generator combo? I’ve been around generator repair facilities where a generator is hooked up to a load bank where various loads can be applied to check out the generator. Max loads really make the big diesel engine bark, and usually goes to wide open throttle.

An oil change won’t be in quarts, it will be in barrels.
