Understanding Maxwell losses?



Original poster: tesla popp <teslas_lab@xxxxxxxxx>

One quick question,
Why is it that a maxwell capacitor is so much more
lossey than a poly cap or a mica cap?

What I mean is, I can't use a .06uF maxwell on my
400mA transformer because the transformer can't handle
it, but I have used my .07uF polyethylene capacitor on
the same transformer with no problem.  I thought a
maxwell was made of a plastic based dielectric?
