A contactor assembly for a transfer switch includes a housing, first and second operating mechanisms in the housing, a first contact assembly in the housing and adjacent the first operating mechanism, a second contact assembly in the housing and adjacent the second operating mechanism, and a central control system in the housing and coupled to each of the first and second operating mechanisms. The central control system is configured to be manually actuated (i) in a first way to cause the first operating mechanism to change the first contact assembly to a closed state and to lock the second contact assembly in an open state and (ii) in a second way to cause the second operating mechanism to change the second contact assembly to a closed state and to lock the first contact assembly in an open state.
