The breakdown field of the enhanced should be multiplied by a
(up to values of 1.2) for better accuracy in cases where the field at the center
conductor is highly enhanced.

The "mean" field is just the peak applied voltage divided by the electrode
gap.

In cases where the entire area is not stressed, use that area which exceeds
90% of the maximum stress.
