The 3VA2325-5MN32-0AB0: The interrupting rating drops as line voltage climbs: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.
Rated 250 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then it starts to give back: 240 A at 55 °C, 235 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 225 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient sits at 60 °C, you lose 15 A off the nameplate.

Listed depth is 110 mm (body only, not including handle throw or rear terminal projection).
Listed width is 138 mm for the 3-pole frame.
No — the 3VA2116 is a 160 A frame with different dimensions and a lower breaking capacity. The 3VA2325 is physically larger (138 mm wide vs the 3VA2116's narrower frame) and requires more panel space. Rewiring is also necessary because the terminal layout and lug sizes differ.
As a SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC 60947-2 certification and is designed for UL 489 compliance. Siemens typically provides RoHS and REACH declarations on request through the standard documentation portal. Specific certs (UL file, CE declaration) should be confirmed at quote time for the exact variant.
