From my searches on Google, this seems to be something quite Denmark-specific.
I found this on wikipedia:
"FI-afbryderens efterfølger, HFI-afbryderen (H'et står for Højfølsom) skal ifølge dansk lovgivning sidde i elinstallationen i alle boliger hvis ydermure er opført efter 1975.
I 1991 blev det et krav at HPFI-afbrydere (P'et står for Pulserende) skulle anvendes i boliger, og i 1993 blev det et krav at montage af alle tilslutningssteder i boliger skulle beskyttes med HPFI."
Is there a recognised or official translation for an HPFI relæ in English?
Any suggestions warmly received!

RCCB relay
Found this in my MultiTerm (sorry, have forgotten to note a reliable source):
RCCB
Residual Current Circuit Breaker is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the flow of current is not balanced between the phase ("hot") conductor and the neutral conductor. The presumption is that such an imbalance may represent current leakage through the body of a person who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit. A shock, possibly lethal, is likely to result from these conditions.
