الوصف: We investigate the impact of transport current on the superconducting order parameter in superconducting islands in full-shell epitaxial Al-InAs nanowires. Depending on a device layout, the suppression of superconductivity occurs in three fundamentally different ways -- by a critical current in the case of superconducting reservoirs and by a critical voltage or by a critical Joule power in the case of normal reservoirs. In the latter case, the collapse of the superconducting state depends on the ratio of the dwell time and the electron-phonon relaxation time of quasiparticles in the island. For low resistive and high resistive coupling to the reservoirs, respectively, the relaxation-free regime and the strong electron-phonon relaxation regime are realized. Our results shed light on potential shortcomings of finite-bias transport spectroscopy in floating islands.
