There will naturally be a decrease in the value of voltage at your load terminals due to I²R loss (heat) plus reactive drops if electric motors are connected. Determine the supply current from
I = 35 X 10³ ⁄ (I x V x cosΦ√3
and the total impedance of the circuit from the source to the load, ie, the R of a 35m length cable (what is the csa? and is it made of CU?) + the impedance of the connected appliances. There is a standard allowable voltage drop(mV/A/m) for your particular cable, not more than 4% of your supply voltage (IEEE). Check this and use the formula,
Total voltage drop = (mV/A/m) x I x 35 / 1000
That will be the value at the load terminals.
