It's certainly expensive for a bracket, but much cheaper than a 200A DPDT switch/breaker which can run $1000 or more. So I guess in comparison it's a bargain.
Yup and they are as big as a dorm fridge. HF has a cheaper version but I did not like it, looks to be an import. (DUH HF)
Just the switch alone is expensive, it's no small job to install. makes that interlock all the better. Not sure what size the max you could switch with an interlock ??? I know 50 amp no problem, can you go to 100 amp??
The $175 was just for the bracket. You may find a better price.
Back feeding is sending power out of your house to the power lines.
You can power up your house legally. Just do it the right way.
Well I guess that's what it means to me, but I've seen any type of powering the panel referred to as back feeding???
It is probably also UL listed, so your insurance company cannot use it as a reason to deny coverage if something happens.

They claim they are, and will pass code. Probably why Bob went with the manufactures model instead of his home brew. for that little (or greater) extra piece of mind, it's worth it.
