High-temperature superconductor device and manufacturing method

A high temperature superconductor arrangement comprises a high temperature superconductor (1) and an electrical bypass (2). The current flows in the main current direction (3) through the arrangement. A contact layer (4) is provided between the superconductor and the bypass, the layer having a low anisotropic electrical conductivity. An Independent claim is also included for the production of the high temperature superconductor arrangement comprising applying the contact layer to the superconductor in a co-sintering or post-sintering process, and then applying the bypass. Preferred Features: The contact layer does not completely cover the superconductor.
