SmartUPS runtime calibration with low load - What can I use to increase the load?
We have a bunch of SmartUPS units spread all over the state, none of which have enough load to do a runtime calibration from the NMC2. What could I ship to the various sites or have local staff supply to increase the load? Needs to be something lightweight (for shipping) and power-hungry. Would a hair dryer or maybe a heat [three letter word redacted that the forum's nanny software rejected :D] be a viable choice?

Any 1500 - 1875 watt variable heater with a fan will do over a hair dryer. As the hair dryer is not rated for continuous use and would more than likely fail and cause all kinds of problems down the road.
