You are thinking watts to horsepower, not amps to horsepower. Please restate the question.
It depends on the voltage of the compressor. Two horse power (electric) is 1492 watts, but watts are volts times amps, so you need to know the voltage. Since the motor is an inductive load, you will also need to know the power factor, so as to compensate for true vs apparent power.
This is a two-step question. First, to convert volt-amps into watts, multiply by the power factor. For a heating element like a convector or kettle the power factor is 1, but for a motor it might be 0.7. In the absence of information a power factor of 0.8 can be assumed. Watts are a measure of power and the equivalent imperial measure is BTU per second or BTU per hour. Alternatively a BTU is a measure of energy and the metric equivalent is watt-seconds or watt-hours. A BTU is 1055 watt-seconds (also known as joules). A kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3412 BTU.
36.6 amps maximum at 120 volts, but should not be loaded to over 29 amps. At 240 volts it will produce a maximum of 18.3 amps but never loaded to any more than 14.6 amps.
10 amps
If the 2 amps is the output amperage of the power supply, the maximum that should be drawn from the unit is 2 amps. The load amperage that is connected to the power supply should govern the amperage of the fuse used. There is not much range there, the fusing could go from .25 to 2 amps. If the input amperage is 2 amps then the input and output voltage of the power supply should be stated.
Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 2.6 amps equals 624 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.
Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 5.1 amps equals 1224 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.
Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 750 amps equals 180,000 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
The electrical equivalent to torque is AMPS. Power in Electricity is Volts * Amps Where in a rotating shaft its RPM * Torque
You can't compare that. Ampere is a unit of electrical current; horse power is a unit of power.
Amps (A) measure electrical current flow, while volt-amps (VA) measure apparent power in an electrical circuit, which is the combination of both real power (measured in watts) and reactive power. Essentially, amps refer to current, while volt-amps refer to total power.

Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 40 amps equals 9600 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.
Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 9.2 amps equals 2208 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.
volts times amps equal watts, or 550 lbs per sec equals 1 horse power.
Need to know the voltage of the motor.
