The uncertainty contribution related to linearity shall be considered in the calculation of measurement uncertainty when using the impulse voltage measuring system. Under the condition that the national standard is not yet established at present, the paper proposed an experimental method to measure the linearity of 600kV damped capacitive impulse divider (HCR600). The paper used low voltage resistance divider R200S to measure the linearity of generator, and obtained the linearity curve. With the increase of charging voltage, the linearity of divider can be obtained by measuring the charging voltage of impulse voltage generator precisely and its ratio of indicating value of the sample divider HCR600 after corrected. The result shows that the linearity of HCR600 decreases from +0.4% to-0.8%; the maximum difference between positive polarity and negative polarity is 0.14% and the linearity of negative polarity is superior to that of positive polarity. Besides, the paper used a 500kV resistance divider (SMR 7.7/ref500) calibrated by PTB to compare with HCR600, and obtained the linearity curve. By comparison, two curves show a good agreement, the maximum difference between them is 0.15% at the same voltage. The result shows that the method proposed in the paper can be used to measure the linearity of divider accurately. It also can be used as experimental verification in the process of the national standard establishing and to calibrate the ultrahigh voltage impulse voltage measuring equipments when equipments satisfy some requirements.
