I think they are, but when we had our electrical service upgraded recently, I chose to get a purpose-made, manual transfer switch. I bought the Reliance Controls TWB2010DR from CSN Stores: http://www.csnstores.com/Reliance-Controls-TWB-4-8-Circuit-200Amp-Transfer-Panel-Link-for-Generator-up-to-25000-Watt-TWB2010DR-RLC1055.html We had a 60 A service and upgraded to a 200 A service. This panel replaced the 200 A outside disconnect my electrician was going to have to install, at a price not much more than the outside disconnect. I had done searching around the web, so when I saw CSN Stores, "we will match any competitor," I went with them. The price I found searching was $361 plus shipping. CSN Stores sold it to me for $361 with free shipping. My electrician was pleased with the transfer switch and said it was well made. I sized it so it will take the full output of our Kato generator (whenever I get that hooked up to a prime mover). It will certainly take the 15 A output of our homemade, propane-fired generator set that has a Chevette engine as a prime mover.
