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.

“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.
