Correct, Green is ground(earth)
Let's have a little test.
What do you connect first when tying in with cams?
Haha, are you insane? I'm no where near qualified to tie in with cams.
For the sake of answering the question, I'm prepared to be hypothetically electrocuted. We'll I'd have to hazard a guess that the first thing I'd connect is the ground, to make sure the hypothetical me is never the path of least resistance.
I've seen many panels with the gound on the left, so I would disagree that it is "standard" to connect right-to-leftFor the sake of education, when connecting, on a standard setup go from right to left, first connecting ground, then neutral then each of the hots, all with the power off.
to disconnect, power off, again typically going from left to right, disconnect each hot, then neutral then ground.

A safer way of putting it might be:
Connecting: Start with the ground, and work accross
Disconnecing: Start at the opposite end from the ground, and work accross, ending with the ground

Was that directed to me?Jezza,
Do you know John Carver?
That's exactly what I was getting at with my earlier "test" question.Green/ground is ALWAYS connected first.
Then white/neutral
Then the three hot legs
Disconnect in reverse order.
I agree, my point that I did not make clear was that some of the newer systems have interlocked caps, layout is relevant and forces an orderAnd some gear/boxes have soft tails....
Green/ground is ALWAYS connected first.
Then white/neutral
Then the three hot legs
Disconnect in reverse order. Then the panel layout is irrelevant.

Fused Neutral ? That's Weird! What's the point ? If you fry that leg and you don't fry one of the hot legs, you're goona be in for a world of hurt.Nope, I was asking Jezza.
Has anyone come across an old main panel using stick fuses where the neutral also is fused? Happened to me and was a very long two days and a very long story.
It seems to be an East coast/ West coast thing. Most of the lighting gear, on the East coast has H&N reversed. This has been the case for at least 10 years. There are already countless "turnarounds" floating around (and MMF or MFF tees can be used as well).That is up in the air, while it is a good idea in my book this would have to be a universal thing otherwise the amout of adapters needed will make this counter productive. WE are almost done with 3 pin DMX cable after 10 years, the move to flipped G+N might take twice that as the cost per conector is greater.
