This paper proposes a method of the optimal configuration of fault indicator in distribution network,which is the maximum to reduce costs under the premise of ensuring the power supply reliability,through reasonable planning the number and installation location of fault indicator. With the consideration of equipment investment costs,operation maintenance costs and interruption costs,the mathematical model is solved by bacterial foraging algorithm( BFA). In view of the BFA existed in solving discrete domain,by defining the evolution domain to determine the direction of bacteria to promote chemotaxis solution,which can make it to solve 0 ~ 1 programming problem well,and through setting up electronic bulletin board to avoid the migration operator,we have a chance to remove the possibility of the optimal solution. Based on IEEE33 system simulation,the results prove the effectiveness and scientificity of the scheme.
