Superconducting element for superconducting fault current limiter, method for manufacturing superconducting element for superconducting fault current limiter, and superconducting fault current limiter

A method for manufacturing a superconducting element for a superconducting fault current limiter, the method comprising, in the following order:

• an intermediate layer forming process of forming an intermediate layer on a substrate;
• a superconducting layer forming process of forming a superconducting layer on the intermediate layer;
• a metal fine particle film forming process of forming a metal fine particle film containing metal fine particles on at least a part of the superconducting layer;
• an electrode connecting process of connecting an electrode to the superconducting layer via the metal fine particle film;
• and
• a sintering process of sintering the metal fine particles of the metal fine particle film to form a metal fine particle sintered layer.
