i have a couple UPS's that came with locking plugs instead of standard plugs. it is much cheaper to simply replace the plug then to ship these things back and get them exchanged.

So, referencing the "pin front view" picture here:

I need to know which wire is what.

the top left prong is attached to a black wire.
the top right prong is attached to a white wire.
the bottom curved prong is attached to a green wire.

which wire goes to what on a standard 3 prong plug?

Thanks in advance.
