The Green wire is EQUIPMENT GROUND, NOT NEUTRAL. Caps added for 
emphasis. The neutral MUST carry the load current, the Green Wire must 
NOT carry load current. The primary function of the Green Wire is to 
blow a fuse if by some fault the chassis becomes "hot" with line 
voltage, thus protecting from electrical shock.
