What’s the effect of power routing on decoders?

Online train club member Colin models N scale and asks:

“I am using NCE DCC Power Pro and my question relates to the problems I am having with installing Switch-Cats on my layout. I am wondering if the power routing affects the accessory decoders? I am unable to get the turnouts to work.”
