In this investigation, a novel sort of retrial queueing system with working breakdown services is introduced. Two distinct kinds of customers are considered, which are priority and ordinary customers. The normal busy server may become inadequate due to catastrophes at any time which cause the major server to fail. At a failure moment, the major server is sent to be fixed and the server functions at a lower speed (called the working breakdown period) during the repair period. The probability generating functions (PGF) of the system size is found using the concepts of the supplementary variable technique (SVT). The impact of parameters in system performance measures and cost optimization are examined numerically.
