A restaraunt was told it needed to ground the sushi cooler. Since the unit only had a two-prong plug, well, they found another way.

I haven't seen this for quite some time!

Only if the breaker lugs are listed for 2 conductors each, which they probably aren't.

What IS that green wire connected to?

I assume it's entering the plug housing at one end?

The appliance had a two-conductor cord; that is the grey cord you see. The green wire was connected to the ground prong of the plug, and properly attached to the inside of the appliance frame.

The appliance was made, and marketed, in China. All nameplate info was in Chinese ONLY. The green wire was an aparrent "retro-fit".

I had no problem in replacing this with a proper cord.

looks like some sort of clip on the end of that green wire, probably sticks to a copper pipe
