You could always use shorted MOT's as ballasts, or you could do what I'm 
doing to ballast an MOT supply, seperate the MOT core and wind them into a 
ballast (I actually was kinda lazy on this and just removed the secondary and 
left the primary on as the ballast winding.). As long as you're using a 
decent MOT it should be good for 2KVA so a few in parallel you can easily 
ballast a 5KVA pig.
