An overhead distribution line fault indicator drop test machine disclosed by the present invention solves the problem that a conventional drop test is strong in subjectivity, poor in accuracy and low in test efficiency. The overhead distribution line fault indicator drop test machine is characterized in that a square horizontal hanging bracket (5) is connected with the bottom end of a linear motor secondary (2), a hanging rope (6) is hung on the central point of the square horizontal hanging bracket (5), and a C-shaped metal hook (7) is hung on the lower end of the hanging rope (6); a fault indicator (8) is hung on the C-shaped metal hook (7) via a hanging ring, a drop bottom plate (11) is arranged on the ground in a portal support (3), and a pressure sensor (12) is arranged on the drop bottom plate (11) and is arranged right below the fault indicator (8). The overhead distribution line fault indicator drop test machine enables the drop test efficiency of an overhead distribution line fault indicator to be improved, and enables the test objectivity and convenience to be improved.
