Abstract
A method for operating a superconducting device (), having a coated conductor () with a substrate () and a quenchable superconducting film (), wherein the coated conductor () has a width W and a length L, is characterized in that 0.5≦L/W≦10, in particular 0.5≦L/W≦8, and that the coated conductor () has an engineering resistivity ρshunting the superconducting film () in a quenched state, with ρ>2.5 Ω, wherein R=ρ*L/W, with R: internal shunt resistance of the coated conductor (). The risk of a burnout of a superconducting device in case of a quench in its superconducting film is thereby further reduced to such an extent that the device can be operated without use of an additional external shunt.
