The voltage does not depend on the gauge of the wire, but on the thickness and type of insulation.
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
30 gauge wire is much "thinner" than 10 gauge wire. Hence, if you are using 10 gauge for an application requiring only 30 gauge, it will more than handle any current flow. However, if the application requires 10 gauge wire you cannot use 30 gauge wire.
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.
About 300 lbs. Maybe, but it depends on the gauge of the wire and the hold of the anchors and weight of the wire itself... more information would help for a better answer.

Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
Thick gauge wire mesh can be purchased at most farm outlet stores. Similar to screening it is strong enough to hold the weight of the eggs and the newly hatched chicks.
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
The voltage does not depend on the gauge of the wire, but on the thickness and type of insulation.
If you're referring to 14 gauge steel wire, about 60-65 pounds safely, but remember, supported weight depends not only on the wire, but the screws and nails that are attached to the object and the wall or ceiling. (Not to mention the material of the wall or ceiling. Drywall will hold much less than hardwood, so use a stud finder if possible to drill/nail into the wall or ceiling for added support) When in doubt, always use stronger, thicker materials than you think you'll need.
(8) GAUGE WIRE 50lbs per 1000ft or 1lb per 20ft (12) GAUGE WIRE 19lbs per 1000ft or 1.9lbs per 100ft (14) GAUGE WIRE 12lbs per 1000ft or 1.2lbs per 100ft
Wire gauge is a measurement of how large a wire is, either in diameter or cross sectional area. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight per unit of length.
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
30 gauge wire is much "thinner" than 10 gauge wire. Hence, if you are using 10 gauge for an application requiring only 30 gauge, it will more than handle any current flow. However, if the application requires 10 gauge wire you cannot use 30 gauge wire.
