The invention relates, inter alia, to a method for measuring the voltage (UE) on a conductor (30) by means of a measuring arrangement (10) having a capacitive divider (20) coupled to the conductor and a measuring device (70), wherein, in the method, the voltage (UA) at the low-voltage terminal (U20) of the capacitive divider, the high-voltage terminal (020) of which is connected to the conductor, is measured with the formation of a low-voltage measurement value (UA1, UA2) and a measurement value (ik) indicating the voltage on the conductor is formed with the low-voltage measurement value, wherein in order to form the measurement value, the measured low-voltage measurement value is corrected by means of a correction element (110) having an inverse transfer function (Gcorr) with respect to the transfer function (G) of the measurement arrangement. The invention provides for determining a time constant (Tl) of the transfer function of the measurement arrangement on the basis of the voltage at the low-voltage terminal for two different load states (Zl, Z2) at the low-voltage terminal, and for determining the inverse transfer function taking account of said time constant.
