These are two different rating coils.

I will not take 24V and 240V ac coils in this explanation, I will take low voltage ac coil and high voltage ac coil in the explanation in general.

Low voltage ac coils have low insulation in general compared to the high voltage coils since we need more insulation for the high voltage coils.

Low voltage ac coils have less no of turns and less diameter of coil compared to high voltage ac coils.

But the thickness of the conductor used for the ac coil depends on the current rating of the coil only it does not depends on the voltage.

Well, one is a direct current (dc) measurement and the other is an alternating current (ac) measurement.

DC:

DC voltage is, for an example, what comes from a 1.5V battery. It is a constant voltage, and it will stay (about) the same 1.5V that it was when it was fresh, until it dies. DC is constant in polarity, the direction that the current travels in.

AC:

AC voltage is a switching voltage. It switches its polarity very quickly back and forth, and it is measured by taking the difference between its 2 peak voltages..
