Error fields from misalignment of the toroidal field (TF) and poloidal field (PF) coils in TPX are presented in terms of the outward normal B-field (B{sub {perpendicular}}), expanded in poloidal and toroidal harmonics (m, n), on a simulated, D-shaped, plasma flux surface. Results are reported for n = 1 toroidal mode number and low poloidal mode numbers, m, and for various displacements of the TF and PF coils. In particular, results are given for the m,n = 2,1 error field which interacts with the q = 2 surface to cause locked modes and loss of plasma performance. Based on existing experiments, maximum permissible field errors are 4 G for the 2,1 mode and 8 G for the n = 1; m = 1,3,4 modes. Results are presented for a rigid shift and rotation of a single TF coil and for a rigid, radial shift of each PF coil.
