Their generation is described by the dynamo theory. The magnetic field growth is connected with differential rotation and alpha-effect [1]. The equations for the magnetic field are complicated, so different two-dimensional models are often used. For the main part of the galaxy the dynamo mechanism is usually described using the no-z approximation. It takes into account that the galaxy disc is very thin, so the ratio between the half-thickness and the radius of the galaxy can be taken as a small parameter, some of the derivatives may be replaced by algebraic expressions and it is possible to consider only the components that lie in the equatorial plane [2]. Some of the galaxies have so-called outer rings, and we can assume that the magnetic fields exist there, too. First estimates were made taking the no-z approximation [3], but for the rings the thickness and the radial lengthscale are quite comparable. So we should use the model that takes into account z-component. In earlier works the model for the magnetic field in round torus was constructed [4]. However, it is much better to describe the outer ring where the height has the same order as the width, but it has smaller value. We have constructed the model for the rectangular torus dynamo that can describe the magnetic field generation in the outer ring better than no-z model and the ring torus dynamo model. The critical values of the kinematic parameters that are connected with the possibility of the field growth have been obtained. We have shown that the field can have both the quadupolar and dipolar symmetry. Typical configurations of the field are presented. References 1. T. Arshakian, R. Beck, M. Krause, and D.
