I strongly recommend you get a electrician to help.
Call your assist line on your personal shorterm insurance policy.

I don't think so. A damaged earth wire will cause "leakage" that eventually leads to the power tripping.

How often does your power trip? Do you have difficulty in getting the trip switch set back again, unless you turn breakers off first?

Hi,thanx for reply,yes

I think you answered yes on my question?

If the trip switch only resets after the geyser breaker is turned off, then it's most probably your element that's eroded and causing electrical issues.

I doubt that the earth wire is the cause, but it should also be fixed of course.

Talk to your short term insurance about repairing/replacing the geyser.

Just IMHO of course.
