Maintaining safe and consistent performance in industrial energy networks necessitates the dependable detection of asynchronous motor failures. However, in practical scenarios, diagnostic models often suffer from poor generalization and high false alarm rates when faced with incomplete datasets and limited high-quality samples. Aiming to overcome the aforementioned constraints, a PCA-KPLS integrated multi-fidelity scheme is presented in this work. The method utilizes low-fidelity data to construct a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) model for extracting basic features, and then integrates a small amount of high-fidelity target data via Kernel Partial Least Squares (KPLS) to establish a cross-domain feature mapping, enabling knowledge transfer between data of different fidelities. Validation through mathematical simulation and an engineering case study on a primary air fan demonstrates that the proposed method achieves higher prediction accuracy and lower root-mean-square error compared to models using only low-fidelity or high-fidelity data, significantly reduces false alarms, and enhances the accuracy of fault diagnosis and model generalization capability when training samples are insufficient.
