Answer
See work below.
Work Step by Step
a. The average power is 2.2 hp. The maximum power is twice that, or 4.4 hp (see Figure 18–22). Convert to watts.
$$4.4hp\frac{746W}{hp}\approx 3300W$$
b. Use the average power and the rms voltage to find the maximum current.
$$\overline{P}=I_{rms}V_{rms}=\frac{I_{peak}}{\sqrt{2}}V_{rms}$$
$$ I_{peak}=\frac{\overline{P}\sqrt{2}}{V_{rms}}$$
$$=\frac{(2.2hp)(746W/hp)\sqrt{2}}{240V}=9.7A$$
