Read the Installation Guide and User's Manual that comes with the geyser. You don't say which country you are in as that makes a big difference: * In Europe and other places around the world which use a similar 230 Volts 50 Hz household electricity supply system, the Earth wires are colored Yellow/Green.
* In US, Canada and other countries using a similar 240 volts 60 Hz household electricity supply system, the Ground wires are colored Green or are just bare wires.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

By earth wire I am assuming you mean the bare wire and that a black and white wire are connected to the light. If when you connect the earth wire and breaker trips then there is a short between black and earth. It could be a bad ground connection, an internal short in the light fixture where black wire "hot" is connected to metal on the fixture through a nick in wire.
To wire an outside lamp with a four-wire cable (blue, brown, earth, and yellow), connect the blue wire to the neutral terminal, brown wire to the live terminal, yellow wire to the lamp's switch terminal, and earth wire to the earth terminal for safety purposes. Ensure to switch off the power before starting the wiring process and follow all local electrical codes and guidelines. If unsure, consult with a licensed electrician.
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
Some are some are not, a geyser requires special Plumbing.
A geyser is a natural vent that discharges steam or water from Earth.
To wire a geyser to the distribution board, first ensure the power supply is turned off. Connect the geyser's live (brown or red) wire to the circuit breaker in the distribution board, and the neutral (blue or black) wire to the neutral bus bar. Ground the geyser by connecting its earth wire (green or yellow/green) to the earth bus bar. Finally, secure all connections, double-check for proper insulation, and restore power to test the installation. Always consult or hire a qualified electrician for safety and compliance with local regulations.
Connect a good quality three pin, 15 amps plug the geyser cable with green wire connected to the earth terminal (thicker pin in the plug). If the geyser is to be fitted permanently at one location only, then it is advisable to connect it with a D.P. Switch to avoid burning of wires due to loose connections in three in plug and socket.
To connect the Onesto digital programmable timer switch to the geyser, first identify the three terminals on the bottom side of the timer: typically, these will be labeled as L (live), N (neutral), and LOAD. Connect the live wire from the distribution board to the L terminal, the neutral wire to the N terminal, and the wire leading to the geyser to the LOAD terminal. Ensure all connections are secure and double-check the wiring against the manufacturer's instructions to ensure safety and proper function.
A 6 mm earth wire can be used to replace a 2.5 mm earth wire, but if there is an existing 6 mm earth wire it must be 6 mm all the way to the earth, and not replaced by a smaller wire between it and the earth connection.
Connect green wire ( handbrake ) to Ground (earth)
To connect a 240V geyser switch, first ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. Use appropriate gauge wire (usually 10 or 12 AWG) to connect the live (L) and neutral (N) wires from the power supply to the switch terminals, ensuring correct polarity. Connect the output terminals of the switch to the geyser, ensuring all connections are secure and insulated. Finally, turn the power back on and test the switch to ensure proper operation. Always consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about electrical work.

To connect the water pipes to a geyser, first, ensure that the power supply is turned off. Connect the cold water supply pipe to the inlet valve of the geyser, typically marked with a blue label, using appropriate fittings and plumbing tape to prevent leaks. Next, attach the hot water outlet pipe, usually marked with a red label, to the geyser's outlet valve. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and check for any leaks before turning the power back on and testing the geyser.
Yea mate, is meant to connect to your handbrake usually but just join it to your earth wire.
how do you connect the wire from the alternater to the starter?
Sometimes there is no need to connect the black earth wire, because the radio will earth by mounting it to the body of the car. (there's no harm in connecting it anyway)
The ultimate source of heat for water in a geyser is the Earth's geothermal energy. This energy comes from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface that warms the water in underground chambers, causing it to rise and eventually erupt as a geyser.
