1. No. They are designed to be operated for long periods.
2. Another pulse. One thing to beware of. If a latching relay was operated
when the power failed, it would still be operated when the power is
restored
whereas a normal relay would release and would not operate again unless you
specifically applied voltage to the coil.

Subject: [ukha_d] Relay types - impulse vs latch?
I'm planning to use 12/24v relays for mains switching of lights etc, but
I've come across two different types of relay - impulse and latch. As I
understand it, impulse relays are active only when the coil is energised,
whereas latching relays just require a momentary signal through the coil to
become and stay active.
Assuming this is right, I have a couple of qs:
1. Is an impulse relay damaged by keeping the coil active all the time?
2. How do you switch off a latching relay?
Any electricians out there?
Regards
Andrew
