The invention provides a device and method for measuring the quench recovery characteristic of a superconducting tape. According to the device and method disclosed by the invention, a constant currentsource is connected to a controllable impact power supply in parallel, so that currents are continuously loaded for the superconducting tape by the constant current source after impact currents are finished; the voltages of two ends of the superconducting tape are synchronously measured through a data control unit, and whether the superconducting tape is recovered to a superconducting state or not is judged through voltage values; special treatment on a superconducting tape sample to be tested is not needed, and testing can be completely performed in a practical application environment; and in addition, the structure is simple, so that millisecond-grade measurement response speed is realized.
