We have measured transport properties at low temperatures for the granular Sm1.82Ce0.18CuO4-delta samples belonging to the family of electron-doped superconductors. The effect of applied electrical current on the resistive behavior is investigated. The experimental data are analyzed using a modified form of the theory for a field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition in 2D superconductors. The results suggest a possible electrical-current driven superconductor-insulator transition.
