The ground conductor of a power cord should be the same gauge (or larger) as the live and neutral current carrying conductors. The safety factor of a power cord ground wire requires an efficient, low-impedance path to ground, so the ground conductor should provide equal (or greater) conductivity as what the live and neutral conductors provide.
