So how much power does an oil filled radiator actually use.

Perhaps someone who knows where it is could have a quick look and see if
any smoke comes out when the voltage drops to 202V?
ISTR that bigclive did a tear-down on one of those voltage reduction
units. At some load point it actually had relays to bridge itself out of
the supply as a self protection mechanism. So you may find enough load
actually takes it out of circuit.
That sounds a sensible arrangement, But doesn't the marked voltage
drop make it a bit unlikely?
