Question:

transformers calculations?

how to calculate the secondary current of the transformer for example 1200 amps in primary ,primary voltage is 220kv and the secondary voltage is 34.5 kv of the transformer .

That is a good answer 7652 amps. 7300 amps is more realistic, considering transformer losses, but I don't think any one has built that large a transformer, so surprises are likely. Even at 1% that many amps, 3 phase is likely. Neil
For an ideal transformer, the voltage ratio is set by the turns ratio, so the transformer is a stepdown with the ratio of 220/34.5. The current ratio is also set by the turns ratio, but current goes up as voltage goes down, so the secondary voltage is 1200 x (220/34.5). Again, for an ideal transformer only.
