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

    TK'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.
