Abstract: Disclosed is a method for connecting an electric asynchronous machine of a powertrain to an electric grid. The powertrain has a machine driveshaft, the drive machine, a differential drive, and a differential transmission with three drives or outputs. One output connects to the driveshaft, a first drive connects to the drive machine, and a second drive connects to the differential drive. In a first phase, the drive machine starts up while one drive is simultaneously connected to the other drive or to the output, and the drive machine is separated from the grid. In a second phase, the drive machine connects to the grid, the connection between the one drive and the other drive or the output is separated, and the rotational speed of a drive/output is ascertained. The drive machine is connected to the grid if its rotational speed deviation from the grid frequency <±5.0%.
