This type of setup is common on a stove, right? 240 for the stove heating

Yes, and electrical dryers as well. At least NEC used to (I don't
have a very recent copy to check current, maybe someone else will) allow
the bare wire to be used as neutral in this specific instance (under
some other specific circumstances as well, basically being a single
