We present, in this paper, the high power test result and the beam commissioning status of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator for the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) at Tsinghua University. The 3-meter-long RFQ is designed to deliver 3 MeV protons to the downstream High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) with the peak current of 50 mA, pulse length of 0.5 ms and beam duty factor of 2.5%. The RFQ has been designed, manufactured, and installed at Tsinghua University. High-vacuum test of the RFQ has been carried out carefully and the cooling system has been mounted. At the beginning of 2013, the high power RF test has been performed and the first 3 MeV proton beam is obtained.
