Switching system for plural simmer voltages

A selection switch and infinite switch energy regulator unit, comprising:

• an infinite switch energy regulator for adapting an input voltage level to an average output voltage level, the energy regulator having a rotatable shaft for adjusting the average output voltage level;
• an input voltage selector for selecting between a plurality of input voltages by actuation of a rotatable mechanism, and having as an output the input voltage level to the energy regulator, the rotatable shaft operatively coupled to the rotatable mechanism;
• and
• wherein the energy regulator provides a variable duty cycle in response to rotation of the rotatable shaft.

A voltage selector switch and infinite switch combination, comprising:

• a voltage selector switch rotatably controlled to selectively provide as an output a first input voltage or a second input voltage;
• an infinite switch mechanically and electrically coupled to the voltage selector switch, with an input connected to the output of the voltage selector switch, and providing a duty cycle that is rotatably controlled and is further dependent on the output of the voltage selector switch provided as an input to the infinite switch;
• and
• a single rotatable shaft coupled to the voltage selector switch and the infinite switch for rotatably controlling the selector switch and the infinite switch.
