The invention provides a testing apparatus for the performance test of a multiple-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle for 
transmission line inspection. The testing apparatus comprises a power source generator, strain towers, a straight-line 
tower, conducting wires, ground wires, 
strain insulator strings, a suspension string and a 
jumper wire string, wherein one ends of the ground lines are connected with the strain towers, and the other ends of the ground lines are connected with the straight-line 
tower; the suspension string is arranged on the straight-line 
tower; one ends of the conducting wires are connected with the strain towers through the 
strain insulator strings, and the other ends of the conducting wires are connected with the suspension string mounted on the straight-line tower; the 
jumper wire strings are arranged on the strain towers; the output of the power source generator is connected with the conducting wires. According to the invention, all typical defects of an actual line can be simulated on the strain towers, the straight-line tower, the conducting wired, the suspension insulator string, the 
strain insulator strings and the 
jumper wire strings, so that the visible light and 
infrared inspection performance test of the multiple-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is facilitated. The power source generator can output the alternating 
voltage of 110-1000 kV and direct voltages of +500 kV, -500 kV, +800 kV and -800 kV, the actual line environment at all 
voltage classes can be stimulated, and the 
transmission line inspection performance of the multiple-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle 
cam tested.
