Abstract
A load apparatus is provided. The load apparatus generally comprises a load that is configured to convert mechanical rotational energy to electrical energy for a power output. A rotor assembly is coupled to the load, wherein the rotor assembly includes a rotor shaft that is configured to rotate within at least a portion of the load. A quill shaft is coupled to the rotor shaft, wherein the quill shaft is configured to couple the rotor shaft to a drive shaft of a machine such that the rotor shaft is axially and/or radially isolated from the drive shaft to facilitate rotordynamic isolation between the load apparatus and the machine.
