contents The integrated cross sections of high-energy $e^+e^-$ electroproduction by an electron in an atomic field is studied. Importance of various contributions to these cross sections is discussed. It is shown that the Coulomb corrections are very important both for the differential cross section and for the integrated cross sections even for moderate values of the atomic charge number. This effect is mainly related to the interaction of the produced $e^+e^-$ pair with the atomic field. For the cross section differential over the electron transverse momentum the account for the interference of the amplitudes and the contribution of virtual bremsstrahlung is noticeable. The Coulomb corrections to scattering is larger than these two effects but essentially smaller than the Coulomb corrections to the amplitude of pair photoproduction by a virtual photon. However, in the cross section differential over the positron transverse momentum, there is a strong suppression of the effect of the Coulomb corrections to scattering.
