The invention discloses a 
system and a method for detecting a distribution network automatic terminal. The 
system comprises a 
program control power supply, a standard meter and a detection device, wherein the 
program control power supply is used for supplying power and providing a test 
signal which comprises test 
voltage and test current to a detected terminal according to a 
signal command which is externally input; the standard meter is used for displaying the test 
signal which is generated by the 
program control power supply; and the detection device is used for sending the signal command to the program 
control power supply or the detected terminal, generating a detection result in response to the signal command according to the detected terminal, and storing the detection result. Functions, the accuracy and a communication protocol of the distribution network automatic terminal can be integrally detected. The invention is widely applicable to establishment of a distribution network automatic 
system, the performance and functions of the distribution network automatic terminal can be standardized, product quality is improved, the potential safety 
hazard of the distribution network automatic system can be effectively reduced, the level of safe and stable operation of a power distribution network is improved, the reliability of a power 
distribution system is improved, and 
solid foundation is laid for promotion of the establishment and application of a power distribution automatic system.
