A new set of the evolution equations for the helicity of the mean magnetic field and the mean helicity of the fluctuating magnetic field is derived from Maxwell's equations and the generalized Ohm's law with the dynamo action. It is shown that there exist two kinds of the dynamo-driven magnetic helicity transport. One of them makes the mean magnetic field helicity transfer to the fluctuating magnetic field, yielding an anomalous loop voltage. The other makes the fluctuating magnetic field helicity transfer to the mean magnetic field, which provides convincing evidence for the existence of the dynamo current. Therefore, the two kinds of the magnetic helicity transport describe the mutual conversion between regular and irregular motions. The formulae for the loop voltage and the dynamo current are given. In particular, the authors give the formula of the dynamo current-generated equilibrium magnetic field which provides a concrete mode for magnetic field creation and maintenance in both astrophysical and laboratory (e.g., reversed-field pinch) plasmas.
