Current limiters configuration has received considerable attention in recent years.The defects of existing mathematical models and algorithms around this topic are analyzed，and a multi-objective configuration methodology is proposed.The innovations of this methodology include two aspects:firstly，presenting a rigor mathematical definition of the optimization problem considering the total cost of current limiters，the amplitude of short-circuit current，as well as system transient stability;secondly，providing a modified parallel non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-Ⅱ（PNSGA-Ⅱ）to search the Pareto optimal solutions，which achieves a strong global optimization ability and an excellent convergence speed.
