Quote "NAME OF resistive load in MW"

I've never had an occasion to give a load a name. I probably am not clear on what you need. Could you rephrase you question.

One million watt non-inductive load.

But this is probably not what you are asking for......it's in there but it just won't come out will it?

The name of the load is "Bert". But in martian words, which is what "MW" must stand for, his name is "edryuhtty".

After thinking about this rather interestingly-asked question from many different angles I think you are asking for the name of the device used as a resistive load for load-testing very large load applications (such as power stations).

Load Bank

Does that answer your question?
