I would not recommend this one. The rating is 1500 volt-amps. If you have a 14 amp device running on 120 volt power you are pulling 1680 volt-amps (14 x 120) which is over the rating. Having said that, does your projector actually pull 14 amps or is that the rating? In any case, to be safe I would buy a higher capacity unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work, however backup time will be rather limited, some "hacks" actually augment the internal battery with an external one (say a car battery). Based on the power requirements of your projector you may* need to get a larger unit, 120V times 14A is 1680VA, however typically the power listed is the maximum power draw, not necessarily the continuous usage. In a pinch I would get this unit, ideally a higher capacity unit would likely be more appropriate.

If the projector truly pulls 14 amps, then it would not come with a standard 15 amp plug and would most likely have a 20 amp connector. If this is the case, this UPS would be too small to support the projector. If the projector has a standard 15 amp plug, then we would need to know it's maximum power draw in watts in order to accurately size a solution. There should be a label on the projector with this information.
