The invention relates to an electrocorrosion acceleration test method for a DC (direct current) porcelain insulator iron cap. The method comprises the following steps: 1, cleaning the dirt on the surface of a porcelain insulator, and placing in a shade for drying and avoiding direct sunlight; 2, sticking a copper sheet to the surface of the porcelain insulator, realizing short circuit for creepage distances of the lower surface and the partial upper surface of the porcelain insulator, and forming a certain distance between the electrode of the copper sheet and the iron cap; 3, placing the porcelain insulator stuck with the copper sheet in a liquid environment simulation chamber, and adopting a dripping method to test, wherein the water drops above the porcelain insulator are dripped to gather in the gap between the iron cap on the lower side of the porcelain insulator and a porcelain surface and form a more concentrated liquid contact point; 4, selecting annual average leakage quantity of electric charge as a basis and testing; and 5, dissecting the electrocorrosion part of the porcelain insulator iron cap, and measuring the length, width, depth and corrosion direction of the electrocorrosion area. According to the invention, the testing steps are rigorous, the practicability is strong, the testing result has better equivalence with the electrocorrosion situation of the porcelain insulator on site, and the electrocorrosion acceleration test method can be widely applicable to the experimental research on the electrocorrosion problem of the DC porcelain insulator iron cap.
