Abstract
The present invention relates to a high-temperature superconductor arrangement which is protected against hot spots. A contact-making layer 4 is provided between a superconductor layer 1 and an electrical bypass 2, which contact-making layer 4 has anisotropic electrical conductivity. This ensures a low contact resistance between the superconductor 1 and the bypass 2, without the admittance being increased in the main current flow direction 3. The said anisotropy is produced by discontinuities in the contact-making layer 4, for example by said contact-making layer 4 being broken down into areas 41 which are not connected to one another.
Claims10
A high-temperature superconductor arrangement having a high-temperature superconductor (1) and an electrical bypass (2) which makes electrical contact with the high-temperature superconductor (1), with the current flowing through the arrangement in a main current flow direction (3),
- characterized in that a contact-making layer (4) is provided between the superconductor (1) and the bypass (2), which contact-making layer (4) has anisotropic electrical conductivity which is reduced in the main current flow direction (3).
