Hi Nick, many thanks for viewing. The standard pop-up toaster uses a nichrome ribbon element threaded onto the mica support board, the mims elements are typically used on toasted sandwich presses and waffle makers etc, you can often notice the element mounds cast into the heating plates, kind wishes, John ... electrical instructor
Tests as required by AS/NZS 3670, 1 ohm max PEC resistance, 1Meg ohm minimum insulation resistance
How do you know what has a mims element and what is a normal heating element?

Considering a toaster has exposed conductors that can be accessed by someone sticking a knife in to free toast I think they fail 3760 by design
True, I guess some people have done that, thanks for viewing though
