A 10 AWG wire is typically only rated for 30 amps, but conditions such as length of run, whether the wire is to be used in a "plenum", temperature and other factors may affect the type of wire that you must use for a specific application.

If you have any questions, contact a qualified electrician or your local building inspector.
