Ok i need a relay to be energized like around 3 min to maybe 10 min... and this is like 2-3 times daily... well the avg is like 3 min each of those times per day... will the relay last like for years or it'll break down in few weeks etc? should i get a heavy duty cycle relay for this job or it's ok?

Hi 2000vsm, if you use a Bosche or Potter & Brumfield relay, you shouldn't have any problems....they'll last for years and each can stay on for as long as you need them to so long as you do not surpass their current capacity.
