Copper wire current ratings assume 10 amps per mm2 for currents up to a few amps. 26 AWG wire has a cross sectional area of 0.13 mm2 so this logic says 1.3 amps.

A 26 AWG wire typically has a current rating of around 0.22-0.3 amps for power transmission in open air or an enclosed environment. This may vary based on factors like temperature and insulation material.

What is amp rating for 8 to 14 gauge aluminum wiring?

There is no rating for #14 wire in the electrical code book. This is because #12 aluminium wire is rated at 20 amps and that is the minimum of home wiring circuit wiring in aluminium. It is not, if at all, used anymore. #10 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 30 amps. #8 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 45 amps.


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.
