The 100 amp DP switch must be protected by a 100 amp breaker.

can you connect a 100 amp double throw swicth to a 200 amp main disconnectTK's answer is correct, but your question is very confusing to me.
What exactly are you asking??

My guess will be that there is a 200 amp service with a 200 amp main breaker, and this person wants to insert a 100 amp manual transfer switch.

Hopefully, Carl gets back with details.
