The invention discloses a measuring device and a measuring method of a reverse small current in a direct current distribution system. The measuring system comprises a signal acquisition system, a signal conditioning system and a data processing system which are mutually connected; the direct current is tested through the combination of a current divider and a Rogowski Coil; the Rogowski Coil is output to an integrator; when an analog integrator and a digital integrator are selected respectively, the system is slightly different; the measuring method is as follows: when in a steady state, the current divider is used for measuring current; when the current is less than a set value, the current divider and the Rogowski Coil are combined to measure small current value, namely, the value measured by the current divider is used as an integral initial value, the Rogowski Coil measures a change rate of the current, the current rate is integrated by the integrator so as to obtain current variable quantity, the current variable quantity is added to the integral initial value so as to obtain a small current value, if the value is less than 0, a control signal is output, and if the value is larger than 0, the measurement is continued. A stable current and the reverse small current in the direct current circuit can be measured precisely; and the measuring device has the advantages of wide measurement range, high precision, rapid response speed, strong overload ability, high linearity, small size and convenience for installation.
