Depends on how far you want to carry that load.

For short distances, 6 AWG THHN rated at 90C, used at 30C ambient, is permitted for up to 75 Amps when in a 3-conductor cable or conduit.

In free air, it may be "capable" of handling up to 105 amps.

NEC Table 310.16 and 310.17.

Will awg 10 wire carry 30 amps for 30feet?

Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.
