Three-wave turbulent interactions and the role of eddy size on the turbulent electromotive force are studied in a spherical liquid-sodium dynamo experiment. A symmetric, equatorial baffle reduces the amplitude of the largest-scale turbulent eddies, which is inferred from the magnetic fluctuations spectrum (measured by a 2D array of surface probes). Differential rotation in the mean flow is >2 times more effective in generating mean toroidal magnetic fields from the applied poloidal field (via the Ω effect) when the largest-scale eddies are eliminated, thus demonstrating that the global turbulent resistivity (the β effect from the largest-scale eddies) is reduced by a similar amount.
