Here's a simple, yet accurate analogy.
Think of a water pipe. Volts are like the pressure of the water in the pipe. It's a measure of how hard the water/electricity is trying to get out of the pipe/wire.
Amps are like the flow rate of the water. Your breakers limit the flow rate to 30 amps - no matter what the capacity of what you're plugged into. Unlike water, with electricity you damage things and start fires if you find a way to exceed the rated flow/amps.
