Everyone,
this post is off topic but brings up a good safety point.
While it is accepted and its in the code book that green is supposed to be ground, DON'T accept this as being correct !!
I worked on one system that used green wire for 120 volt outputs and no I am not kidding!
I assumed ground and got lit up real fast, triac outputs.
I was not happy, I brought in the safety managers and pointed out this problem and wanted to replace the wiring. they replied, I would have to do the wiring on over a dozen panels ! keep it the way it was!
WHY would you use green for power wiring?
it was the weekend and that's all we had!
So DON'T assume green is ground on any panel, verify first.
I never made that mistake again at that facility.

You're lucky..Places I've worked at would have fired you for getting shocked and never think twice about why green was used. haha.
