You can always take two of the 50 ohm resistors in series,
paralleled with another two 50 ohm resistors in series.
Should give you 400 watts of dissipation.
I'm using 2 paralleled strings of 4-100 ohm resistors
to get 200 ohms capable of dropping the 8 watts
to slow a fan down cooling my stereo. (120VAC)
They are 1 watt resistors I had in my junque box.

ebay has some 50 ohm non-inductive resistors?but they're not good for much more than 100 watts and most are 50 ohms.? For higher power values, you'll need to search the surplus channels.? Just how big a dummy load do you need, anyway?
