The present invention provides a selection and configuration method of distribution equipment state monitoring sensors. The selection and configuration method comprises the steps of determining evaluation indexes of the sensors and corresponding index grades; determining the weight of each evaluation index; and achieving fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the sensors by utilization of an improved membership function, and obtaining membership grades and comprehensive evaluation factors of the sensors. According to the method, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the sensors is achieved effectively and accurately, and operation stability and safety of the distribution equipment state monitoring sensors are ensured by using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation as the sensor selection and configuration basis; and furthermore economy, applicability and reliability of an on-line monitoring system are ensured.
