Is it possible to use just two SPDT relays to control this AC motor?
I purchased an inexpensive electric hoist off Amazon with the intention of partially replacing its control circuits so that it can controlled via ESPhome.
There are only 2 buttons on the control box. ...

Why is there no torque in electric motors when the Iq current is zero and Id current is not zero?
Random vector position of stator current ( Id + Iq = Is ):
Now I draw the stator current/flux vector as shown below where “Iq = 0” and “Id ≠ 0”:
From lecture I’ve learned that the south pole of the ...
