Wise to keep in mind....

...that the NEC addresses primarily safety, both personal hazard and fire. The code gauges are "safe" for the ampacity specified but may or may not be adequate as regards other factors such as voltage drop under load. This is where the professional comes into play. Also, the 30A circuit recommendation comes with added baggage: special 30a rated outlets are required. Since these outlets don't accept the standard 15 or 20A plugs found on most equipment and appliances available in the US, a true code rated 30A circuit in a domestic setting would be inconvenient at best and hazardous at worst.
