Reverse powering equipment includes: a power supply module, configured to supply power resources to a distribution point unit by using a line; a switch, configured to control whether the power supply module supplies power; a line test module, configured to: when the switch is opened and the power supply module does not supply power, test whether a user terminal is connected to the line; and a system control module, configured to send an alarm signal when the line test module determines that a user terminal exists on the line, and after a user disconnects the user terminal, control the switch to be closed and the power supply module to supply power. The reverse powering equipment can prevent the user terminal from being damaged.
