'Can' yes. 'Should' no.

Never use a green wire for a neutral. It is colour coded for a reason and that is to protect the people that work on electrical equipment. If you turn a ground wire into a neutral it then becomes a current carrying conductor. There are times in the electrical trade when grounds have to be disconnected and if it is used as a neutral and the tradesman is holding one end and touching a grounded object a shock will occur. Again never use a green ground wire as a neutral.

Which is the Hot wire and which is the Neutral wire if the wires you see are a Brown a Blue and a Yellow Green wire?
In electrical wiring, the live or "hot" wire is typically brown or red, the neutral wire is typically blue or black, and the ground wire is yellow or green. So, in this case, the brown wire is likely the hot wire, the blue wire is the neutral wire, and the yellow green wire is the ground wire.
When connecting a 4 prong cord to a new dryer red and black are hot What are the green and white wires?
The green wire is the ground wire, which is used for safety to prevent electric shock. The white wire is the neutral wire, which completes the circuit and carries the return current back to the electrical panel.
What is the color of live wire neutral wire and ground wire in Bangladesh.?
In Bangladesh, the live wire is typically red, brown, or black; the neutral wire is typically blue or black; and the ground wire is typically green or green with a yellow stripe. It is important to consult with a local electrician or electric code regulations for accurate information.
When using 10-3 w ground what color is used for each connection in a 4 pronged plug?
Black and Red are hot (2 slots ), white neutral , bare copper (or green) is grounding. The answer is correct, but to carify a bit...Red and black are connected to the brass colored terminals, white to silver and green or bare to the green terminal.
What to do with the white wire in track light with black green and white wires if the house does not have a white one?
The white is neutral. The house does have a neutral wire even though it may be black. One of those black wires is the neutral and the other is the hot wire. You will have to determine which is hot and which is neutral. You can easily do this with a voltage tester. The wire that lights the tester is the hot. When you wire the light simply wire the hot to hot, and the white and green to the other wire.

A light switch has three wire colors red and white and green which is the hot wire and which is the neutral?
Red is hot Green is ground White is neutral
When connecting a 4 prong cord to a new dryer red and black are hot What are the green and white wires?
The green wire is the ground wire, which is used for safety to prevent electric shock. The white wire is the neutral wire, which completes the circuit and carries the return current back to the electrical panel.
How to wire black white yellow and green to black wire and green wire?
More information is needed as to what device you are connecting to what power supply. The only two identifiable wires are the white and green. In North America the white colour is used for the circuit's neutral and the green is used for grounding of devices.
