Hp Capacity** (air-cooled eddy-current modules):
**Actual air-cooled eddy-current capacities are test speed and rotor-temperature dependent. Initial cold torque and Hp limits are approximately twice their warm ones. (Hp ratings shown below taken after running 1+ minutes, at full load, in a room-temperature environment.) Continuous ratings are approximately 50% of warm values. See online load charts for curves.

6000-HT modules ≈ 6,000 Hp or ≈ 100,000 ft-lbs (dodeca-absorbers)
10000-HP modules ≈ 10,000 Hp or ≈ 12,000 ft-lbs (octo-absorbers)
Hp Capacity (AC motoring absorber modules):
