trip switch consumer unit, trip switches now stay on. There are fuses behind the switches, right? How can I tell if one has blown?

Just to answer this. No, trip switch (mcb type) do not have fuses behind them.

Just to answer this. No, trip switch (mcb type) do not have fuses behind them.

To add a little 'constructive education' for the OP ...

'Trip switches' (like the Miniature Circuit Breakers, MCBs you have) fulfill the same role as a fuse (disconnect a circuit in the event of excessive current, such as due to a 'fault') but do so 'non-destructively', in that after they have tripped they can be 're-set', using the switch lever on the front (after the reason for the excessive current has been removed).

When an excessive current causes a fuse to 'blow', the fuse is destroyed and has to be replaced (after the reason for the excessive current has been removed).

Kind Regards, John

What was connected to the cable before
Does it get power from a light switch in the bathroom maybe

Although the seller does list it as such, that is NOT a spur, it is often used on a spur but it is wrong to call it a spur, it does cause confusion, even some electricians call it a spur. It is actually a Switch Fused Connection Unit. There are unswitched ones available too.

A spur is the type of wiring (imagine a train track and a spur on that track).

A spur is a branch from a circuit in effect (it might be from a ring or a radial).

There are a few more things that cause confusion in a similar way.
example , Live and Line, . Ring Main Circuit and Ring Final Circuit are another. There are more examples, then also the Use of abbreviations can confuse too.
