Abstract
The superconductor structure for conducting an electric current in a predetermined direction has a metallic support and one or more conductor tracks. The conductor tracks have at least one electrically insulating interlayer deposited on the support and a high Tc superconductor layer deposited on the interlayer. Between its superconducting layer and the support, the conductor track has at least one connecting part, which extends in the current-conducting direction, for electrically connecting the superconducting layer and the support in parallel. The superconductor structure may be provided in particular for a current limiter device.
