Several series of aluminum-wire array, z-pinch experiments were carried out on the Saturn generator at Sandia National Laboratories. In one of these series, wire number was varied and a rapid rise in K-shell peak power was observed as a function of an increase in the wire number for a fixed mass load(T. W. L. Sanford, et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77), 5063 (1996).. Then, in two other series, the load mass and the array radius were separately varied to observe K-shell yield and power variations for large wire number loads. In this work, the results of an analysis of the K-shell spectra, pinhole pictures, yields, and pulsewidths will be given, from which one can determine average plasma temperatures, ion densities, and K-shell mass participation as a function of wire number, load mass, and array radius. These results will be compared to similar data for small wire number shots (<= 42) on Saturn.
