Abstract
A current lead including a high-temperature superconductor and a normal conductive component is coupled to a superconducting device. Electric current is delivered through the current lead at a level above the critical current carrying capacity of the high-temperature superconductor, creating a current-sharing mode of conductance through at least part of both the superconducting component and the normal conductive component.
