Radial Voltage Drop Calculation?... By Load or MCB Rating?

Nano Brewery
I'm doing the calculation for total voltage drop.  I have 14 radials/ways going out.  As I understand it, that would equal a max allowance of 0.285% voltage drop per radial/way.  Or some sort of mixture throughout not exceeding the 4% drop allowance overall.  Firstly, is this correct? 


Secondly, should I be doing my calculations based on actual Load or the MCB ratings of the individual radials/ways? 


Thanks in advance!
