A  wirewound rheostat should do the job, you can get these in large
wattages.

Subject: [EE]:loading a power supply for testing purposes


I have a couple of power supplies that I want to create a test jig for, and
to simulate a load.  What we are talking about is 40A @2.5V and 10A @1.25V,
so putting a resistor(s) out there might not be the best solution.

Any ideas?
