Default how much can dummy load carbon resistors stand

I need to build a portable load to carry on the roof or tower to check
transmission lines, I know for
intermitten use a resistor will stand alot more then its rated for so
does anyone know the factor
for intermitten use?

But if you're just checking transmission lines, wouldn't it make sense
to get by with a small dummy load, and just reduce power into the
transmission lines?
