That's a very specialist transformer due to the power level.
You will need tape windings or similar and great care with things like
leakage inductance.

Philips had some good application notes on high frequency power transformer
design.

Details about how you are intending to drive it and why would help people
give better answers.

eg

At 2400w and 24v the average current is 100+ amps - not a design to be
undertaken lightly.

What sort of switching devices did you intend to use?
Why?
What sort of "inverter" circuit?
Where did you get the circuit from?
What is the intended load?
Are you using the AC as is or rectifying or ... ?
... ?
