Tri rated cable and grouping factor

Hi guys I’ve got a motor starter I’ve come across and looking at the electrical drawings it’s originally had 35mm tails from a 100amp fused isolator switch. This has been replaced with 25mm tri rated cable. Looking at the specs for BS 6231 I can see the conductor can take 136 amps. Motors are 37kw. Is there anything I’m missing. How do you apply grouping factors for a panel running a single motor or is grouping factors not applied?

Thanks guys
 
Treat it as any other trunking for grouping factor. Consider ambient temp on panel and how often the load will be starting and stopping
If it’s 3 phase 3xsingle core and control circuits within the trunking how does this related to how many loaded circuits? Found this in bsen 60204-1
