Abstract: The dynamics of the magnetic helicity in the electroweak phase transition in the early Universe has been analyzed. It has been shown that the interface surface between the symmetric (hypermagnetic) and broken (Maxwellian) phases serves as a membrane at which the helicity is separated. If the number of knots of the hyper-magnetic field is negative, the helicity accumulated in the Maxwellian phase is left-handed.
