Abstract

A coated conductor is provided with improved electrical connection between the conductive layers such as the high temperature superconductor layer and a metal protection layer applied onto the high temperature superconductor layer and the substrate. A method includes obtaining such electrical connection, in particular, creating a coated conductor wherein the substrate is a core covered with the layers all around its periphery.
