Green or bare wire is used for ground conductors in US, Canada and countries which use similar wiring codes for 60Hz power supplies.

<><><> Green/yellow striped wire is used for ground conductors in Europe and other world areas which use similar wiring codes for 50Hz power supplies. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO AN ELECTRICAL JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THE WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power

at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND

always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes

(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
