I am a homeowner who will be using a licensed electrician to do the followig work, co-ordinate with electric service provider, and get permits, when the time comes. Right now, I am trying to cost out alternatives.
I have an 26 year old 200A GE main breaker box (photo 1) with no main cut off switch (which is not up to code, but was when it was installed. Leaving that to my electrician). The meter is immediately to the right side of this box.
Alternative (1) buy a new 200A cutoff, have it installed along with an interlock. Second alternative to be discussed later.
The knockout in the safety panel is vertical, and is for a screw on (not push-in) breaker switch. I believe the correct part # to be TQD22200X2 taken from the label in the box (photo 2). If I have taken the wrong part #, pls advise.
From the info given, does this switch appear to be the correct one?

My concern is that the link doesn't mention the part #, but came up with part # as search term and looks to me approximately the right one. But as a layman, would like someone knowledgeable to confirm please. Advance thanks
