Abstract
The nonlocal alpha-effect of Babcock-Leighton type is not prone to the catastrophic quenching due to conservation of magnetic helicity. This is shown with a dynamo model, which jointly applies the nonlocal alpha-effect, the diamagnetic pumping, and dynamical equation for the magnetic alpha-effect. The same model shows catastrophic quenching when the alpha-effect is changed to its local formulation. The nonlocal model shows the preferred excitation of magnetic fields of dipolar symmetry, which oscillate with a period of about ten years and have a toroidal-to-polar fields ratio of about a thousand.
