The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a low emittance third-generation synchrotron radiation light source under commissioning. The excitation curve calibration for the booster magnets is important to provide the magnet current configurations as reference. Calibration studies give the polynomial coefficients of each type of magnets and provide the magnet current configurations under different beam energies as beam is ramped at speed of 2 Hz. The applications of calibration in booster commissioning which show the accuracy of the magnetic excitation curve calibration are also discussed.
