Abstract
A switchable power supply includes a moveable electrical plug holding member that has a first position, which places an electrical plug pair in position for use with a first voltage standard, and a second position, which places the electrical plug pair in position for use with a second voltage standard. A switch is in a first state when the moveable electrical plug holding member is in the first position and is in a second state when the moveable electrical plug holding member is in the second position. When the switch is in the first state, a voltage modifier circuit generates a first output voltage and when the switch is in the second state, the voltage modifier circuit generates a second output voltage.
