You can read the NEC online and find the answer. Hope this is a 240 circuit, otherwise itbis way over permitted amperage.

The voltage has nothing to do with the amperage/wire size relationship.
If's a motor branch circuit so #12 on a 30A is perfectly feasible.

Why not tell us what you think it is and how you get it and we'll go over it?
