iv been asked to install a supply to a house and im a bit rusty. can someone please walk me through the cable calculations?

supply is a protected by a 100a bs1361 fuse, cable will be swa installed direct in ground, cable length around 40 mtr.

thanks
 
ok so after applying diversity Ib = 91.5A and In=100A
so from table 4d4a multi-core armored 70'c refrence method D you get 99A for 25mm cable.

then volts drop mv/a/m = 1.75

so...
1.75 x 91.5A x 40 mtr /1000 to convert to volts = 6.405v

now if it was a final circuit not for lighting this would be ok (as it doesnt exceed 11.5v 5%). but its for a distribution circuit so if i was to then have other circuits running of it the volts drop would increase how do i account for this??
