The green wire is designated as a ground wire. This wire in a feeder cable is bare copper and connects to the distribution panel's ground bus and at the load it is connected to the frame ground of the equipment. The UK uses the same colour for the grounding or earthing but it also has a yellow tracer on the green colouration.
