Breaker placement in panel

[nizak]

Is there an advantage to locating breakers with a high amp draw closer to the main breaker or incoming lugs? 120/240V single phase system.

I’ve got a load center with 2 open slots but it’s at the very bottom.

It’s for an electric kiln at a residence. I can’t re distribute breakers and get to the top,
It’s a 70 amp load.

Thanks

There is no advantage to putting the larger ampacity breakers at the top. Some people do this but the reality is that the bus in the panel is capable of carrying the load at any point on the bus. If it makes someone feel warm and fuzzy then put the larger CB's at the top.
