Parallel resonance is a resonance condition that usually occurs in parallel resonant circuits, wherethe voltage becomes a maximum for a given current.
Being a parallel resonance means the impedance is high and inrush surge current relatively low compared to asimple capacitor.
Series resonance produces voltage amplification and parallel resonance causes current multiplication within an electrical system.
