Abstract
The present invention relates to a high-temperature superconductor arrangement which is protected against hot spots. A contact-making layer is provided between a superconductor layer and an electrical bypass which contact-making layer has anisotropic electrical conductivity. This ensures a low contact resistance between the superconductor and the bypass without the admittance being increased in the main current flow direction The said anisotropy is produced by discontinuities in the contact-making layer for example by said contact-making layer being broken down into areas which are not connected to one another.
