Intrinsic error field on EAST is measured using the'compass scan'technique with different n= 1 magnetic perturbation coil configurations in ohmically heated discharges. The intrinsic error field measured using a non-resonant dominated spectrum with even connection of the upper and lower resonant magnetic perturbation coils is of the order and the toroidal phase of intrinsic error field is around . A clear difference between the results using the two coil configurations, resonant and non-resonant dominated spectra, is observed. The'resonant'and'non-resonant'terminology is based on vacuum modeling. The penetration thresholds of the non-resonant dominated cases are much smaller than that of the resonant cases. The difference of penetration thresholds between the resonant and non-resonant cases is reduced by plasma response modeling using the MARS-F code.
