Help with Electrical Motor as Dynomometer!
(OP)
I am looking to use an electrical motor as a loading device for an Engine Dynomometer, and I need some help from all the people with more experience in electric motors.
I need an electrical motor that can withstand the following conditions;
- Capable of absorbing 80kw / 100hp
- Capable of spinning at around 2000rpm
Please help me, I cant seem to find any information about the kind of motor I could use.
An example/ link to a product would make me very happy. I can find 80kw motors, but I think that a motor can absorb more than it is rated as an output.

Rough measurements could be made directly on armature voltage and current and torque and absorbed power calculated with a few percents accuracy. For better accuracy, a torque transducer was used.
Today, a standard induction motor and a VFD with regeneration can be used and the available measurement possibilities are generally much better than before.
