WCB 100 magneto hydraulic 100A DC – code: FDWCB1000000A00 – Quick

WCB 100 hydraulic magnetic 100A DC Quick (code FDWCB1000000A00)

The WCB 100 magneto hydraulic 100A DC by Quick S.p.A. is a WCB hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker with the new panel featuring a glossy scratch-resistant surface and minimal frame. The rapid “slow burn” hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers provide protection when using direct currents. In overcurrent situations, they will trip, interrupt the circuit, and protect the equipment; they can be manually reset and are suitable up to 80 Vdc.

Quick WCB 100A DC Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breaker

(Manufacturer Code: FDWCB1000000A00)

The hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker Quick WCB 100A is a high-performance protection device, specific for circuits with direct current (DC) high loads. Equipped with “slow burn” technology (delayed action), this breaker is designed to handle the strong initial current surges of high-power electric motors, ensuring system protection without nuisance trips during startup.

Fields of Application

The 100A rating makes it suitable for protecting main power lines in marine and industrial environments. It is the preferred component for:

• High consumption loads: Large anchor windlasses, electric sheet winches, bow thrusters, and hydraulic handling systems.

• Main distribution: Protection of backbone lines of DC electrical panels on medium and large vessels.

• OEM Maintenance: Safe and compliant replacement of original Quick components on pre-assembled panels by the shipyard.

Validated Technical Specifications

• Rated Current: 100 Amperes

• Max Operating Voltage: 80 Vdc (Direct Current)

• Operating Temperature: from -40°C to +85°C

• Trip Mechanism: Delayed hydraulic magnetic

• Reset System: Manual via toggle lever

• Aesthetic Finish: Glossy scratch-resistant panel with low-profile frame for flush mounting.

Dimensional Data for Recessed Installation

(Standard Quick WCB series for panel uniformity)

• Front Plate Dimensions: 74.8 mm (Height) x 49.8 mm (Width)

• Recessed Depth: 67 mm

• Lever Projection: 30.4 mm

Installation and Safety Guidelines

Due to the high rated current (100A), installation requires extreme technical precision:

• Positioning: It must be installed in series on the positive pole (+) the power supply line.

• Cable Sizing: The use of cables with adequate cross-section (minimum 25mm², 35mm² or higher depending on the length of the run) is mandatory to avoid voltage drops and dangerous overheating.

• Connections: Use only ring terminals of the correct size, ensuring perfect mechanical tightening on the rear terminals. Loose contacts can cause electrical arcs or terminal melting.

• Operational Safety: Perform wiring only after opening the main battery disconnect switch. Ensure that the rear installation compartment is ventilated and protected from direct moisture or leaks.

Purchase Advice: Always check the code FDWCB1000000A00 on the original component. The WCB series is visually identical for different amperages; checking the code and the “100A” marking is the only way to ensure proper line protection.
