Transformer for small DC Pump

Transformer for small DC Pump

Transformer for small DC Pump

(OP)
I have a 100W, 24VDC pump which I want to drive using an ssr and supply through a 230/24VAC transformer and a bridge rectifier.
I have made a circuit using an AC SSR to supply/cut power to the transformer primary in order to turn on/off the pump.
I have also installed a 1,25A fast blow fuse on transformer primary and it works with any problems up to this point.
There is also a possibility to have a DC SSR after the bridge rectifier to supply power directly power to the pump.
Which solution you think is the best?

RE: Transformer for small DC Pump

Usually one would use a low voltage transistor to turn the rectified DC on/off to the pump.
