Not only house wiring but in any electrical installation it is an electrical term that refers to the amount of "voltage to ground" as compared to the term of "voltage to neutral". In troubleshooting scenario's one can not always be checking voltage points back to the neutral because of physical length from the neutral point. All legal electrical equipment connections are grounded. The ground is grounded at the neutral bar in the distribution panel making it a common point. Even though you can not always access a neutral in the field there will always be a "hot" voltage to metallic grounded equipment to check for voltage at that point. This makes troubleshooting faulty equipment much easier.

A 4-wire house feed can be used for 220 volts, typically in a split-phase system found in residential electrical installations. The four wires usually consist of two hot wires, one neutral wire, and one ground wire. This configuration allows for 220 volts between the two hot wires, while the neutral and ground provide safety and return paths for 120-volt circuits. Always consult a licensed electrician for specific wiring configurations and safety standards.
