[Amps] kW dummy load resistors

[John Lyles]

Two sources of non-inductive high power tubular resistors:

Cesiwid, Kanthal-Globar or whatever they are called now (used to be 
Carborundum Co). They make resistors that are about 300 watts rating, 
that can be series or paralleled for 50 ohms and are made from bulk 
carbon-like material.

Altronics Research, in Arkansas. They make very high power deposited 
film resistors on ceramic cores. Bird uses them in their loads.

If you want to make a good load, these are some of the best. Bring money 
though.
