ISO 14990-2:2016 the particular safety requirements for the electrical equipment and its components incorporated in externally-powered (mains-connected, including machines powered by external dedicated generators), electrically-driven earth-moving machines (EMMs).It is applicable to those machines using on-board voltages in the range of 50 V?36 kV AC r.m.s. at any frequency and 75 V?36 kV DC ? including any repetition rate of pulsating DC ? intended for outdoor use. Voltages occurring within devices are not considered to be on-board voltages and are thus not within its scope.It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 14990‑1, which gives general requirements for EMMs regardless of how they are powered. Requirements specific to self-powered machines are given in ISO 14990‑3. However, it is possible for an EMM to be both self-powered and externally-powered (e.g. a battery-powered machine having a built-in charger with power supply function), in which case ISO 14990‑3 is also applicable.
